SUMMER POSTCARDS #38

 

First thing I did was dip my toes in sand upon arrival.

Another impromptu weekend with the clan on Fire Island. It was glorious. Spent some time in Sailors Haven for some walks and sunbathing, followed by a small dinner for 12 last night with a spectacular sunset! The Lad, in the Back the Barbie crop top and MM#1fAN said I should start a Boys of the Boardwalk series next season. When the above group heard I had a blog they wanted their picture taken. Thanks cuties!  I'll be departing soon on a ferry, I mean on THE ferry after a libation or two... to return to, gulp, reality. Hopefully I can get in some blog reading on the train. Ain't summer grand?!?!


 Fisher and Aatig's ditty set the tone for the weekend me thinks.

    2. It's always nice to see the faces of the people who feature prominently in your life. He has a gorgeous one. Yes, I'm looking at his face, uh huh, yep, mmmm. I'm gonna leave the coming and cheek pinching to you young whippersnappers. I haven't been able to snap since I lost my whip years ago.

  3. Beautiful pics. But WHY are those boys wearing suits in a private pool? It’s insanity, I tell you!

    1. When it's just our clan we usually tend to get naked .. but there were three guys there from up the walk that we didn't really know. But fear not, within 2 hours they were all three naked!

  5. Love the pictures! That's probably the prettiest seagull I've very seen! The song though, gotta be the most boring techno I've ever heard. Literally just six words and the same beat the whole time, but I get why you shared it, it's like a musical GIF of "Take it off."

    1. While the song is not lyrically the best, I can't lie that beat still gets my ass going. But yes when I heard the words that song the six words did seem appropriate for the weekend -true. And I thought the same thing that it was one of the prettiest seagulls I've ever seen. I must pop around and see what your topic was for your nature blog this month.. usually I get lax and then it's too late for me to send in the deadlines cuz I'm not home!!!! I've been terrible lately Muriel!

    1. I can't complain, I wanted to have my big summer trip but that won't happen until after Summer's over. We got a better flight and prices after the holiday, but it's still been a very lovely summer so far.

  7. Oh my God that song is amazing! And what's there to say about these pictures. I've got to get the Fire Island sometime in summer. Every time I go to p-town it's just too crowded and I can't quite enjoy myself as much. I should really do p-town offseason.

  8. And soon summer will come to an end. Enjoy it while you still can!

  11. I love all the boardwalks and the young bucks that tread them (the deer are beautiful, too)!
    Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to cool off in the pool with that cutie...

    1. Oh don't worry Mitchell, once those three boys were relaxed around us enough their suits were off too. People don't say dress too long on Fire Island.

    1. I can't Jennifer. It doesn't matter what beach I'm at I hate leaving a beach location, I moved slows molasses and it's like pulling teeth to get me to actually get in a car or on a boat to leave. It's terrible. I really think when I retire I should be near a beach.

  14. I hope you did things I wouldn't do.

    1. In the beginning I was a little worried. Seems like every week and weekend we were getting rain for a while but then in mid June it just got nice. You can come hang out anytime Scarlett.

  17. I do miss the sea, but that's not a bad thing on this island at the moment where rivers and sea is polluted with shit courtesy of the water companies placing profit over clean water
